Hi, I’m Giselle, an LPC-Associate with a master’s degree in counseling and experience supporting children, adolescents, and families through life’s challenges. My work has included supporting clients navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, emotional challenges, relationships, and major life transitions. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, feel heard and understood, and work toward meaningful growth at your own pace.
I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up as your authentic self without fear of judgment, and I strive to create that kind of space by meeting each person with warmth, compassion, curiosity, and an open mind while walking alongside them through whatever life may bring.
My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to each individual. I don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach, so I take time to understand your experiences and goals. Together, we can explore what may be getting in the way, develop practical tools for navigating difficult moments, and build greater confidence and self-understanding.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something to change, I’m here to meet you where you are. My hope is that together we can create a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence. I’d be honored to be part of that journey with you.

I show up as a real person in the room, meeting clients with respect, empathy, and a genuine commitment to helping them feel understood.
I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker with a background in outpatient therapy, inpatient psychiatric care, and residential treatment, supporting both adolescents and adults. Most of my work centers on helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, family conflict, and major life changes. My focus is providing a grounded, reliable space where clients can slow down, regain stability, and move forward with clarity and self‑trust.
I use trauma‑informed, strengths‑based methods to help clients understand their experiences and develop tools for healing. You can expect a supportive, steady space where we focus on clarity, emotional regulation, and sustainable progress.
You deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and safe to grow. When you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and clarity, I’m here to walk alongside you.

After years in healthcare and a career change of my own, I understand that life doesn’t always come with a clear plan. I bring a practical, curious approach to therapy and believe you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin.
I'm Rob Evans, and I work with teens and adults who are anxious, grieving, or figuring out what comes next. Health concerns often come into the picture. Stress, physical health, and mood are all connected, and all of them have a place in our work together. Before counseling, I was a respiratory therapist. I spent years working with people through illness, stress, and uncertainty. I later made a career change of my own, so I understand what it's like to step into something new without having all the answers. Sessions with me are practical and direct. You don't need a polished story to begin.
I use CBT most often because it gives us something concrete to work with: we look at the thoughts and habits that keep you stuck, and you leave each session with something to try before the next one. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in Texas, supervised by Shaunté Collins, LPC-S, with an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas at Dallas.
We can start wherever you are. If something has been weighing on you and you're ready to take a closer look, reach out and we'll see if we're a fit.

Hi, I'm Robin. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, relationship concerns, life transitions, self-esteem, and stress. Whether you're seeking healthier coping skills, greater confidence, healing from difficult experiences, or personal growth, I'm committed to creating a compassionate space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to move forward.
I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach that helps clients better understand themselves, develop healthier coping skills, and navigate life's challenges with confidence. Together, we'll identify patterns, build practical strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting growth.
Wherever you are in your journey, you don't have to face it alone. If you're ready to take the next step, I'd be honored to provide a supportive space where you can heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in Austin have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Austin, TX offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
Slammed doors, screaming, late nights; these are all too common scenes in households around the country. Parents fighting with their teenagers is very common; we see it on television and movies constantly. However, there is another level of discord that becomes so disruptive to the entire family, and so worrisome for parents, that professional help is needed. At Thriveworks Austin, we have counseling available for teens and their parents.
Perhaps you have the opposite problem. Your once talkative and happy child has become a distant and withdrawn teenager. While this is also common in adolescence, it can be troublesome as well. You may have concerns about what your teenager is doing in their free time, how school is going, and just how they are feeling, but be unable to get any answers. We can help bridge the gap of communication between you and your child. Your teenager may find it a welcome relief to have an impartial mediator to talk to about their feelings and emotions.
There are many temptations and scary situations in the world for teenagers today. We can help you navigate the waters of growing up. It is not a smooth road for many, and spending time with a counselor can be healthy for your teenager’s emotional and psychological health, as well as for your relationship. We have appointments available for new clients within 24 hours.
